When I first got this phone, i was so excited bc i had never had a smartphone before. it was awesome to have everything at my fingertips!Now, i think that it's not worth the $30 extra dollars/month since i have internet on my laptop and can easily access email without my phone. I love that it's pink, but that's the only thing I like about it now. Sometimes the ball gets stuck. I cant access every webpage bc you are not able to install javascript or flash. and so you pay $30 extra/ month and still arent able to do a whole lot. Especially bc the internet is so slow i want to shoot myself. After you wait awhile, you just finally say forget it bc it takes so long just to load a webpage.And sometimes it quits loading and gives you an error msg and closes your entire browser. Other times it gives you a sand timer like on a reg. computer turning itself upside down and it freezes your whole phone!while it's frozen, if u press end while on the internet, it takes 5 minutes to return to the main screen and another 5 minutes to access anything else like your msgs. And this happens often. Another thing is that you pretty much have to buy a memory card to keep pictures on there and can't even think about videoing anything without bc it doesnt work without a memory card.And it doesnt always send the pics that u send to friends.It will appear as unsent. Aside from the bad aspects of this phone, it was nice to be able to upload pics on facebook as soon as you take them. And you stay connected to the world at all times. But if there is a better smartphone out there, get that one instead. bc u are basically paying for the name "blackberry" or the pink color.
